The Old Council Minutes.

At the last session of the Legislature
a joint committee, consisting of Sena-
tors Lavender and Martin. and Repre-
sentative Adams, Brown and Moore
was appointed to collate, transcribe and
have printed the old manuscript re-
cords of the Colonial Council from 1776
to 1892, which were lying around loosely
in the State Library and fast going to
ruin. The work is completed, the com
mittee having had $50 copies of the
work printed by James Kirk & Son, of
Dover. The official title is Minutes
Of the Council of Delaware-1776 to
1892" the council corresponding to our
present State Senate, and being com
posed, like the Senate of this day, of
nine members-Chree from each county.
The records thus happily rescued from
| destruction are valuable in a historical
point of view, as they could not have
been replaced if lost. Some of the en-
tries are quaint and amusing, notably
one apprOpriating 9175 for liquors used
by the members during the session, and
another authorizing an official to pur-
chase on behalf of the State, 100 tickets
in public lottery. The we'll known
names of Booth, Clayton, Banning
Read, Polk, Clark and NAPLES appear
among the lists of members.

Behave Like a Christian.

The Rev. w. W. Greene, of Church
Creek tells good story for the Cam
bridge (Md.l Chronicle. He narrates
that brother of the "cloth" stopped
at an inn. He took supper, went to
bed, ate his breakfast in the morning
and then politely asked for his bill.
The regular fare, $3.50, was promptly
charged, to the dismay of the divine.
But l thought you did not charge
preachers" said the latter; "isn't il
the custOm to pass US free ?" Il don't
know about that" replied the hotel
keeper, 3" but do know that you ate
your supper like a sinner and asked no
grace of Cod; you slept like sinner
and breakfasted like a sinner, all with
out grace and of course shall charge
you like a sinner" Moral Behave
like a Chistrian and you will be treated
as such.

Vick's Floral Guide.-Lovers of the
beautiful in art and Horticulture have in
store rich treat in the perusal of Vick's
Floral Guide for the year 1887. Each
succeeding year brings great i'm.
provement in this popular annual and
the present edition is far in advance oi
previous issues in beauty of exterior,
number and elegance of floral and veg
etable illustrations, and the large
variety of subjects thoroughly and
practically treated. The title illustra-
tiOns, a bunch of Pansies, and the page
in colors of Border and Bedding
Plants" are triumphs of chromo-litho-
graphy which have probably never
been excelled. No pains or expense
have been spared in the production oi
this volume, and every effort has been
made to render it worth the reputation
of its publisher, James Wick, Scotsman,
Rochester, New York.
Frank LeStie's Sunday Magazine for
February, opens with Mr.. Powell's
Seventh Leaf from his most interesting
life, dealing with Charles Dickens So
cially, critically and anecdotically.
Several appropriate illustrations accom-
pany the article, including two pOr-
traits of Dickens at different periods OF
his life. An article, entitled 1.-THE
Charitable Side of New York Life" is
we'll illustrated, and gives many facts
concerning the numerous charities of
the great city. The reader may make
an inexpensive trip to the Islands OF
Jersey in the article of that title, and
the illustrations shows the chief points
of interest on the island. The new
story, His Banner Over Me-" begins
te be exciting already, and there are
many short articles and poems of merit
The number is as usual. full of fine
pictures and a collection of reading
matter suited to the varying tastes Of
every member of the family.

Mrs. Cleveland has set the very SEN
sihle example Of appearing at the
theatre without hat or bonnet. She
evidently believes in giving the parties
in the back seats a chance to see the
performance. The ladies of the large
cities have initiated the Presidents
wife in this particular. The para
graphers will now be obliged to hunt
for something else than big hats at
which to launch their daLts.

A full crop of peaches in 1856 did
not prevent the State of New Jersey
from putting up the largest pack Of
tomatoes of any State in the Union.
The pack of last year doubled that OF
1885, and numbered over seventeen
millions of cans. 1t is to be hoped that
the business will not be Overdone, OF
the market broken by poor goods like
it was in 1884-5, when the Hartford
county farmers in Maryland glutted
the market with sloppy goods.

We have been watching the Eu-
ropean war cloud with some inter
est. During the past winter the
cloud, by turns, assumed, first a
threatening and then a peaceful
color. AT one time the dark cloud
would hover over Austria and
Turkey, at another it would be
darkest over Russia and England,
at this writing it is lowering over
France and Germany, and for the
past ten days has been growing
darker with the close OF each day,
but, like its predecessors, it may
soon pass away and leave the hor-
lion brighter for having been so
darkly obscured. We predicted
during the winter that war, in
volving all Europe, might begin
in the early spring. 1t may yet
come.

TO FARMERS.

A letter from b. NJ. Hord, Com
missioner of Agriculture, Statistics
and Mines, to A. j. Weldon, his
assistant for West Tennessee, con-
tains the following of interest to
all farmers:
In order to carry out success
fully my plan and accomplish the
greatest possible good to the farm
ers, from this Bureau, it viii be
absolutely necessary that they
should heartily cooperate with us.
| feel assured that they will do
this as soon as they find out that
it is to advance their interest that
our money and our energies are
chiefly directed for the next two
years. | would suggest that you
organize the farmers in your sec
ton, as rapidly as possible, into
clubs, associations or wheels, in
every county. | authoize you to
state to them that, when thus Or
gained, the Bureau will offer mon
ey premiums for the best grain
crops grown in their respective
counties; they to fix the premiums
as they think best. To make the
proposition clearer, let us suppose
the farmers in your county are Or
ganized, the Bureau will offer 500
for the best yield of 5 acres of
wheat, $40 for the best yield of 5
acres of corn and So for the best
yield of oats sown in the county,
quality as well as quantity to be
considered, and sample bushel
of each crop to be brought in and
to be passed upon by committee,
composed of members of your
county wheel, this sample bushel
to be turned over to the Bureau,
after the exhibition is over. In
this way the Bureau would proba-
bly, get from 10 to 20 bushels OF
the best grain grown in your coun-
ty. The same plan would be fol
lowed up in every agricultural
county in the state. In this way
the Bureau would get say $500
bushels of the best wheat in Ten.
nessee, which would be distribu.
ted free to the farmers Of the state
for seed.
This letter led A. j. Weldon to
advise farmers throughout West
Tennessee to organize and notify
him Of their time and place OF
meeting, so he can meet them in
person to discuss the matter.
There is no doubt in our minds
that a concert of action among
farmers, with a view to their NUT
ual Improvement will be a step in
the right direction.
